“It brings me great joy to meet new people, as well as staying
connected with current patients who I consider family. It is exciting just to
be able to help my patients in a career that I know I am good at and seeing
smiles on their faces when the results bring them satisfaction.” – Dr. Shawn Bansuk Ju
As a good communicator who also enjoys artistic endeavors, Dr.
Bansuk Ju wanted a career that incorporated both of his interests. His search
led him to dentistry,
where he is able to combine one-on-one patient interaction with the creation of
beautiful smiles.
Dr. Ju likes to get to know his patients personally and truly cares
about them. He will go out of his way to make sure that they receive the best
care that they deserve and walk out of the office with a smile. Dr. Ju likes to
tell his patients fun stories; he has lived a very interesting life and is
always excited to share his past with his patients! Everyone in the office
definitely loves his sense of humor!
Dr. Ju was born in
the Philippines while his parents were studying there for medicine. The family
moved to Taiwan for a few years, and then to Korea. When he was 13, Dr. Ju
moved to Oklahoma where he picked up some southern drawl (when you talk to him
he might have a funny accent—don’t be surprised!). After high school, Dr. Ju
moved to Tennessee for college and after graduation served in the Army as a
medic for two years. He then attended Loma Linda University School of Dentistry
Living in a world where things are changing every day, Dr. Ju
understands the importance of continuing his education to adapt to new technology
and better serve his patients. He is an active member of the American Dental Association and the Washington State Dental Association.
Dr. Ju and Dr. Jeong recently welcomed a baby boy, Eden Ju. When he
has the time, Dr. Ju loves the outdoors; he enjoys camping, hiking, and
off-roading during the weekends.
In addition, Dr. Ju serves as the dental director of AMEN Clinic,
which is a free dental clinic held in Tacoma every year. He finds serving in
volunteering activities gives him fullness that one can only receive from
giving back to one’s community.
Dentistry is a
platform that provides plenty of challenges and rewards, as well as constant
opportunities to help people and communities. Dentists live busy and
interesting lives: we meet so many unique people and learn so many different
things in conversations with our patients.
One of the most
heartwarming aspects of being a dentist is
that I get to know my patients a lot more closely than practitioners in other
areas of healthcare. Seeing people at routine six-month recalls, or even sooner
for treatments, provides opportunities to create close connections and
relationships. It is these connections that inspire me to come to the office
every day, as I look forward to hearing people’s stories and latest news, while
helping them to the best of my ability.

Preventative dentistry is our proactive approach to your dental health. A few simple home care practices, paired with regular visits to your dental professional, go a long way toward maintaining optimal oral health.
We offer three different comprehensive whitening systems to meet your desire for a brighter smile. From in-office whitening to two types of home whitening, we have you covered.
Porcelain veneers are a quick cosmetic dental fix for chipped, stained, or misaligned teeth. Veneers allow for correction in the shape, size, spacing, and color of your natural teeth.
Tooth-colored fillings replace silver amalgam fillings with tooth-colored composite resin material and restore the natural color and appearance of your teeth.
Implants are the best way to replace missing teeth, and are titanium posts that are surgically placed in the bone, which then have crowns placed on them once the bone has healed around the implant.
No patient looks forward to oral surgery. We understand. Our high-tech procedures and expert dental team ensure your comfort—whether it’s the extraction of wisdom teeth or a decayed or broken teeth.
At some point, most people will undergo a root canal. Our goal always is to save your natural teeth and prevent the need for implants, bridges, and partial dentures.
Your complete oral health is our goal, and that includes a positive self-image that comes when you feel good about your teeth, mouth, and smile. Whether it’s subtle enhancements or dramatic natural, esthetic makeovers, we can help.
